2025 Hewescraft Evolution 221

Stepping up to Great Lakes, big-water, bad-weather tournament walleye fishing makes an all-welded, deep-v brute like the Hewescraft Evolution more essential than ever. The 22-foot Evolution offers all the usual features needed for a proper multi-species fishing boat (excellent rod and tackle storage, multiple large livewells, convenient casting decks), while also providing the comfort and safety of a Pacific Northwest-style ocean-capable hull that is perfect for big-water trolling. The Hewescraft Evolution covers all the essentials for tackling the tough, late-season fishing in Lake Erie, Lake Michigan, or Lake of the Woods.

For an increasing number of serious tournament and destination walleye anglers, the big water and bad weather of The Great Lakes (and other big bodies of water) require something greater.  Hewescraft’s newest model combines the rugged toughness and safety of Alaska’s #1 boat with the function and features most valued by the walleye and bass anglers of the Midwest.

Massive rod, tackle, and fish storage are paired with the Hewescraft deep-v hull (34° forward and 20° at the running point) and high sides.  Flexible pedestal and flip-up transom seating are paired with the spine-saving comfort of adjustable-suspension pilot/co-pilot seats.  A spacious bow casting deck is mated to a Hewescraft self-bailing sealed bow floor with a water-tight windshield door.  The best traits of tournament fishing functionality have been paired with the reputation, history, and safety of a Hewescraft.  The result is a real Evolution in fishing.
